The Outdoor Education Advisors Panel (OEAP) endorses the LOtC Quality Badge and requests Local Authorities to recommend the use of Badged Providers. It is the only accreditation endorsed by the UK Government that covers all aspects of risk management (including infection control), and quality of education provided. Schools should be confident when using companies who hold the LOtC Quality Badge that they have met their due diligence and reduced the amount of External Provider paperwork necessary.
The prestigious Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge is awarded by the School Travel Forum, a benchmark for good school tour providers.
